IFM Electronic is offering the Efector Octavis bearing vibration monitors in designs suitable for ATEX zones.
The VE111A and VE112A versions have a 3G /3D rating, making them suitable for either gas hazards in Zone 2 or dust hazards in Zone 22.
The Efector Octavis detects rolling element bearing failures and shaft imbalance conditions on critical plant equipment such as pumps, motors, mixers, compressors, fans and spindles.
The VE111A monitors a frequency range of 3 to 6000Hz, while the VE112A monitors 0.125 to 500Hz.
Zone 1 or Zone 21 approval has been granted to the VE113A under the popular IECEx scheme.
The Efector Octavis detects rolling element bearing failures and shaft imbalance conditions on critical plant equipment such as pumps, motors, mixers, compressors, fans and spindles.
The Efector Octavis can analyse a vibration signature and predict failures in advance by sending an alarm output signal to a PLC or relay.
The Efector Octavis monitor incorporates an accelerometer, analogue-to-digital (A/D) converter, digital signal processor (DSP) and diagnostic electronics in a compact 40x40mm package.
These electronic components enable the monitor to gather, process and interpret vibration data.
Configuration software is used on setup to input application parameters such as bearing types, shaft speed and output conditions via an R485 cable.
These parameters allow the Efector Octavis to monitor only critical damage frequencies in the vibration spectrum and ignore all external noise.
One Efector Octavis monitor can detect up to five different rolling elements on a machine or 20 individual frequencies.
